Hear the Heavenly choir sing,
As glad tidings angels bring.
Bells ring out o'er all the earth,
Heralding the Christ Child's birth.

This Child came to bring us peace,
A Holy Birth all wars to cease.
Men rejected the good news.
The glad tidings they refuse.

So wars still wage and troubles brew,
And neighbor hates his neighbor too.
Because we do not love like him,
The future of mankind is dim.

But God is Master over all
And he will see to Evil's fall.
When we accept His loving grace,
This world will be a better place.

Joyce ; Amen and until all men realize they can do nothing apart from him...they will not know peace...we pray that the world be turned to His Loving Light!!! Hugs, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Your last stanza is a poem in itself...

Well done!

(smiles) Yes indeed, for He loves us all who need love the most, and His gentle spirit will touch all our hearts and give us the love and faith we need to carry on. (sigh) May we all cherish these glad tidings together with all our hearts! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet Joyce! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joyce, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Amen.  He came to seek that which was lost and He will lead us in a better way if we will follow Him.  You took us on quite a journey here with a few stanzas from His glorious birth to a world lost in sin and finally a word of Hope to all who will listen.  Again Amen.  -Bob
